MediaInfo is a free and open-source (but Adware supported[1]) program that displays technical information about media files, as well as tag information for many audio and video files.[1] It is used in many programs such as XMedia Recode, MediaCoder, eMule, K-Lite Codec Pack, Media Player Classic Homecinema, etc.[citation needed] and can be easily integrated into any program using a supplied MediaInfo.dll. MediaInfo supports popular video formats (e.g. AVI, WMV, QuickTime, DivX, XviD) as well as many lesser known or emerging formats (e.g. MKV, OGM, Real). MediaInfo provides a GUI for easily viewing the information.
Technical information
MediaInfo reveals information such as:
- General: Title, author, director, album, track number, date, duration
- Video: codec, aspect ratio, fps, bitrate
- Audio: codec, sample rate, channels, language, bitrate
- Text: subtitle language
- Chapters: numbers of chapters, list of chapters[2]
MediaInfo 0.7.51 retrieves codec information optionally from tags or by computation. Thus in the case of misleading tags erroneous codec information may be presented.
Supported Input Formats
MediaInfo supports just about any video and audio file including:
- Video: MKV, OGM, AVI, DivX, WMV, QuickTime, Real, Mpeg-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DVD (VOB), DivX, XviD, MSMPEG4, ASP, H.264 (Mpeg-4 AVC)
- Audio: OGG, MP3, WAV, RA, AC3, DTS, AAC, M4A, AU, AIFF
- Subtitles: SRT, SSA, ASS, SAMI [2]
Supported operating systems
MediaInfo supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and many Linux and BSD distributions.[3] MediaInfo also provides source code so essentially any operating system or platform can be supported.
